Not Just OK ...

Excellent tea service at Smokey Bones Restaurant, Beechmont Avenue, Cherry Grove, Ohio last evening. First rate! Pip Pip, Tally Ho!

A Portal?

This one's for fans of the paranormal. Picture this: imagine a dark hallway, in a spot that does not get any direct light from any windows. Recently, late one afternoon, an image appeared next to our thermostat. The hallway was so dark, I could not, on my Nikon or my Blackberry, get a crisp image without motion blur. The Blackberry's flash wiped out the image and couldn't be turned off (that I know of). SO - here it is for all you Coast to Coast fans.

What's All That Commotion?

It's the Anderson Township Fire and Rescue Department and Hamilton County Sheriffs stationed therein, Anderson Township is a suberb of Cincinnati, Ohio. It seems something was burning. 14 or more vehicles filled the street. They took care of business and we, of the neighborhood, all enjoyed watching all of these professionals perform their duty.

Emotions escape me ...

... but ... perhaps ... just maybe ...

Another Pond Letdown at 39.022168,-84.085838

Yes, another pond was disappointing. The Google Map pond found at 39.022168,-84.085838 probably has a sandy bottom. The dam looked intact, as I photographed it, and I certainly had the impression of being in a bowl. Certainly, in the past month, the Cincinnati area has had an abundance or precipitation. The terrain appeared to be highly capable of funneling runoff into the bowl. Yet, the bottom only revealed water as our footsteps squeezed it out of the soil and leaves.
